??? How are IACBTMN and TMIL "key songs" for Meat? Even BfG, for that matter???

As for your "exceptional vocals" list: You really think BaaB is that good? I mean, I like it a bit, but outside of the serious studio bolstering and drowning out of the "good vocals," mainly during the chorus, the intro where its just his voice is really rough. In general, these days, I think the overall tone of Meat's voice is such that a truly exceptional vocal from him is an impossibility.

Also surprised to see DIST on your list. Again, I quite like the song, and the vocal is fine, yes, but exceptional? I just don't hear it.

As for FCOL, I was just listening to this the other day, on the "super-duper 6.2 surround sound stripped down to practically vocals-only straight from the studio) version that Daveake, I believe, provided. (Or was it Pudding?)
And I was thinking that it truly is an amazing vocal performance from Meat, top to bottom. Especially if he did it in one take, which is how it sounds.
